primo referente critico

Italian to English Art/Literary Architecture
Buongiorno a tutti, sto traducendo un abstract di una tesi di dottorato in Architettura dall'italiano all'inglese; mi trovo in difficoltà con questa frase: "La ripubblicazione dei testi di Persico gli assegna il ruolo di primo referente critico rispetto all’opera del maestro viennese".
Non saprei come tradurre "primo referente critico" in inglese, avete qualche suggerimento?
Grazie in anticipo.

Certainly I would avoid the word critico has it hasn't got the same value/impact or meaning in English has it has in Italian.
